Lexie Tomchek has become the latest contestant to exit America's Next Top Model.

The 18-year-old from Geneva, IL was eliminated from the CW competition on Wednesday night's episode after the judges became concerned that she wasn't showing her true personality in her photos.

"I was given the chance and I didn't really take with it and run with it," she said. "I want to be here but I see why I am leaving."

The episode had opened with Kacey admitting it was hard to stand up for herself in a house full of women who "clearly didn't like" her. She decided to call the girls together for a Q&A session in order for everyone to get to know each other better.

Runway challenge

The models went to meet Miss J at a tunnel in downtown LA where they learned the next runway show was taking place. They had to wear a dress created by Herve Leroux (the innovator of the bandage dress) but there was a twist! They would be walking with male models on a moving conveyor belt and had to keep their composure.

Every girl stumbled as they struggled to keep upright. Ann, Esther and Chris all fell over at some point on the runway, while Kendal's shoe fell off and Liz suggested that she would "rather have natural labor again than do this". Kacey was named the winner and scooped some expensive jewelry.

Back at the house, Andre made a surprise visit to introduce special guest Karolina Kurkova, who arrived with a basket of fruit and vegetables to help teach them about healthy eating. "If you want to be successful and have a big career you have to take care of yourself and be good to your body," she said. She later sat down with the girls to share tips on the industry, including the importance of personality and having fun.

Later that day, an argument broke out between Kacey and Lexie after Kacey accused her housemate of leaving bobby pins in the kitchen. Lexie retaliated by telling Kacey she always left old food around the house. Liz then became involved because she was fed up with the fighting and ended up in a screaming match with Kacey. "Once again I'm the only one against everybody else," said Kacey. "I guess I'm getting used to it."

Photoshoot

The girls arrived at a wrestling studio to meet Jay and discovered this week's photoshoot: a Mexican masked wrestling high-fashion editorial opposite Lucha Va Voom members. The models had to exude attitude as they posed in the ring with the wrestlers.

A newly-blonde Liz was told she needed to work on variety and delivering more "grr"; Jay told Kendal she sounded like a baby elephant with her aggression noises, while Jane wasn't connecting or fully delivering the directions she was given. The photographers were impressed by Esther for understanding her character, while Chelsey, Kacey, Kayla and Chris were also praised. Ann became upset at getting negative feedback for not looking confident or shaking up her poses, while Jay said Lexie didn't know how to relate the emotion she felt through her body.

The Panel:

Tyra, Nigel and Andre were joined by Karolina for the panel.

Kendal: Nigel thought her body language was dull but the face was stunning. Karolina agreed and said the face wasn't matching the body language. Tyra said that Kendal was beautiful so will always take a pretty picture but she needs to bring the talent behind it too

Lexie: Nigel didn't think it was very pretty and said she didn't look like a model. Andre agreed that there was no edge or energy. Tyra told Lexie that she struggled when looking at her film and it was like she wasn't invested

Esther: Andre loved it although Karolina pointed out that she was more drawn to the wrestler than Esther. Tyra said that the wrestler's face was masked but they still feel his emotion and that if Esther showed more dominance in her face the photo would be fantastic

Chelsey: Karolina loved the tension in her body and face, although Tyra said that Chelsey had tried to point her finger at the viewer but the angle didn't work. She gave her tips on how to improve that

Ann: Ann admitted she was upset about letting the photographers down but the panel disagreed and said her photo was amazing. "This is so Italian Vogue," said Andre. "You own the ring." Karolina said sometimes a model feels she has done badly but it's the opposite, while Tyra said she created magic

Jane: The panel thought she took the easy option by sitting with her back arched on top of the fallen wrestler. Nigel compared it to a porn shot and suggested that crouching forward would be more high-fashion

Chris: The judges loved that she chose to be different and asked the photographer if she could jump for her photo, with Karolina saying that she knows how difficult it can be for that sort of pose to work

Kayla: Andre didn't like her panel outfit of a pink cocktail dress, branding it "dreckitude", although he loved her photo because it showed a very different girl to the one standing in front of him

Liz: Tyra joked that her facial expression was, '"What did you say, bitch?!" Karolina said she wouldn't want to be at a photoshoot with the girl in the picture because she would get beaten up

Kacey: Andre called it very high fashion but thought she lucked out with great accessories. Nigel thought her eyes were "a bit deer-in-the-headlights", although Tyra said she owned it and exuded maturity and experience.

Ann won best picture for the fourth time in a row since week one, a first for Top Model. The call-out order was: Chris, Chelsey, Kayla, Liz, Esther, Kacey and Kendal. Lexie and Jane were in the bottom two.

Tyra told Lexie they knew she had a vivacious personality but when she is on camera she doesn't seem invested, while Jane took great pictures but there was something missing about her personality on camera which made her photos "so-so". Lexie was eliminated.

"I was given the chance and I didn't really take with it and run with it," she said. "I want to be here but I see why I am leaving. Even though it doesn't seem I was learning and taking in knowledge, I really was. I bet Kacey is thrilled that I am gone. I wish them all the best, honestly, all but one. I wish eight of them the best."
